Rest in Peace, Willie McCovey

It was sad to learn of the passing of another member of the Baseball Hall of Fame this week. 

Willie McCovey, Hall of Famer and Giants legend, died on Wednesday at the age of age 80. 

There are now 78 living players in the Hall of Fame, at least until the next class of inductees or the next passing. 

Update

Here's the new plan.  A few weeks ago during my rundown of where the collection stands, I mentioned that there are four players with no known address.  Usually when that happens I send requests to the Hall of Fame and they get forwarded on.  However I have read for those four players, the letters usually get returned to sender and never make it to the player.  Sometimes you even get a letter from the Hall of Fame explaining that the letter cannot be forwared.

I figured it would be interesting to see what happens.  Today I am sending out autograph requests to the four players - Ozzie Smith, Willie McCovey, Frank Robinson, and Ralph Kiner - all care of the National Baseball Hall of Fame.  I will be sure to post if I get anything back related to these four players.
